What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisor determines that a franchisee needs more than three days of additional training after the Franchised Business has opened, the franchisee is responsible for specific costs. These costs include paying Craters & Freighters the then-current daily rate for the training provided.
In addition to the daily rate, the franchisee must also reimburse Craters & Freighters for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the franchisor in providing the additional training. These reimbursable expenses specifically include, but are not limited to, all travel and living expenses incurred by the Craters & Freighters personnel providing the training.
This means that a Craters & Freighters franchisee should budget not only for the direct training fees but also for potential travel costs (such as airfare, mileage, and transportation) and living expenses (such as accommodation and meals) for the Craters & Freighters trainers. Understanding these potential costs is crucial for managing the financial aspects of the franchise and ensuring adequate resources are available for necessary training and support.
